Overview of the electoral process in the Free State of Prussia
Prussia in the Weimar Republic shown in light blue. Chart of election results. The Free State of Prussia held elections to its Landtag between 1919 and 1933.[1] From 1919 through 1928, these elections gave a plurality to the SPD . In 1932 and 1933, the NSDAP (Nazi Party ) won pluralities, generally in line with the rest of Germany .[2] [3] The Landtag subsequently was formally abolished as a result of the "Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich " of 30 January 1934 which replaced the German federal system with a unitary state .[4]
